Title: Series 2 figures-yay!
Post by: naflibomyalp on March 04, 2012, 17:35:51

I finally got my hands on some of these yesterday.   :woohoo:
I have seen them for the past two weeks on toyshop websites but sadly none near me.  :'(  None in Toys r Us or local toymaster.   :wall:
Eventually found a toy 'superstore' Smyth's whose Playmo-range was nothing exciting from the website and the guy on the phone said they had girls but not boys.   :hmm:
Went along anyway, felt all the girls bags (it wasn't quite so embarrassing as other parents were also feeling 'moshi monsters'   ??? ).  Asked where their playmo aisle/section was.  It comprised of 3 sets: some police superset thing (half price  ;)), the paddling pool and the top agents car.  Hidden behind a star wars thing was the boys bags!  The shop assistants didn't even know they were there.   ::)
Anyway, this is what I came away with:   :love:

I love them all.  I have been taking ballet for the last 13 years so ballet dancers were a must have.  Top tip:  The ballet dancers have stickier out skirts then the cheerleaders when feeling the packets which is a quick way to tell the difference.   ;)  I also the the detail of the ballet shoes.   :inlove:
I also got a spare tutu and 3 spare hair ribbons-I'm pleased because they're always handy.   ;)


Please see this topic for my ballerinas in action!

Hope everyone can get these soon,
Verity.

Thanks for the feeling tips.  I am waiting patiently for the ballerinas to come to the states.

so are members going to weigh the bags this time and was it very accurate last time? I think I will  buy a gram scale and try to speed up the identifying process

Save your money, Ras-no need for a scale, they're real easy to "feel". :)
